Expedition

On 2024-10-25 (yeah, I'm an ISO 8601 fan), I noticed that the geohash point fell within an unlocked graticule next to mine (there are 7 of them!). My first plan was to make the trip by bicycle — a 130 km round-trip almost entirely along bike lanes, and I announced it on Discord (join us!). But since I’m on holiday, I thought it’d be a great chance to bivouac there and go for the Camping geohash achievement. So, I packed up my gear and settled in for a patient wait until the next day.

Here's the tracklog. (Note that it's not an actual recording of my GPS position, but a GPX I prepared in advance to guide me, thanks to the wonderful gpx.studio. Also, for privacy reasons, it starts from Bordeaux although I don't live there.)


I departed on 2024-10-26, around 2 pm, with all my gear: tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, rain equipment, stove, food, etc. It's nice to be comfy!

The route was pleasant and mostly uneventful — almost perfect, though I would have preferred it without the rain.

Work in progress, to be continued...
